Reshoots for
Deadpool 2 will supposedly be adding more Cable (Josh Brolin) and Domino (Zazie Beets) after the characters' positive reception during early screenings. This will most likely stifle rumors that the additional photography was due to the film getting bad reviews after test screenings.
Early last month, Brolin announced that he was back on set for Deadpool 2 reshoots. No one viewed the matter as a cause for concern when the actor shared the news. However, earlier this week, after supposed negative reactions to the film during test screenings, fans speculated that this was the reason behind the reshoots. On top of the newly surfaced positive reactions to the film as a whole; this new information seems to thwart that conjecture.
Collider EIC Steve Weintraub went on air yesterday to acknowledge rumors regarding the reshoots, citing multiple sources who were present during Fox’s test screenings for the film:
Both crowds in these screenings said they love Josh Brolin as Cable, they love Domino, but that they would like to see more of both characters in the movie. This is obviously not talking about other things that we’re not allowed to talk about… The two main things were Cable, Domino, everyone loved both characters, they wanted to see more. So when everyone in an audience gives notes and says ‘we want more Domino, we want more Cable,’ the smart play for the studio is, especially in the competitive summer is, ‘okay, how can we do that? how can we add these characters?’ So what happened was in February or whenever it was, they did additional photography, where, guess what, they added Cable, or more Cable and they added more Domino. And so that’s the main thing about the additional photography. There was no trainwreck.
What do you think about these developments? What do you think about Deadpool 2's iterations of Domino and Cable so far?
